A circular ring-ditch visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph. To the southeast a sub-circular enclosure is also visible within the same field (DU011-113----) (SMR file; pers. comm. T.

A double ditched or bivallate enclosure with an associated field system situated to the south was identified. The bivallate enclosure consists of an inner enclosure (30m diam.) which is partially encompassed on the eastern, northeastern and northern sides by a second elliptical enclosing ditch (50m diam.). While no diagnostic material was recovered the morphology suggests a bivallate ringfort (Hession 2009, 23). Compiled by: David O’Connor Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 09 January 2015

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
